Orlando Executive airport after Charley hit

I don't think that there is a certified aircraft made that lacks the
range and speed to be flown out of the path of a hurricane given a

When you only have a few hours warning - which is all we had here in
Orlando - I think it's natural to be more concerned with preparing your
home and family than your airplane.

Sadly, a lot of people moved their airplanes from the Tampa area, where the
storm was forecasted to make landfall, to the Orlando area to get them out
of the way. As it turned out, Tampa barely got rained on and we got
hammered. The only sure way not to get hit by a hurricane in Florida is to
not be in Florida.
